Course objectives
The student must know the mechanisms responsible for cellular and molecular events at the basis of physiological signals, integrating information deriving from preceding classes (cellular biology, molecular biology, biochemistry).
The student must understand the organizational principles at the basis of physiological functions and their integration.
The student must acquire the scientific approach necessary for the study of the function of the organs of the human body, through examples of physiological systems.

Learning assessment methods
The evaluation is be based on a written test with 20 multiple choice questions and 2 open questions. Each multiple choice correct answer gives 1 point. Every open question is evaluated with a grade from 0 to 6. Grades greater than 30 are considered 30 cum laude. The exam takes place in presence in a classroom and will be on Moodle. It is necessary to come with a laptop or a tablet.
La valutazione dell'esame si basa su un test scritto con 20 domande a scelta multipla e 2 domande aperte. Ogni risposta a scelta multipla esatta dà 1 punto. Ogni domanda aperta viene valutata da 0 a 6 punti. I punteggi superiori a 30 sono considerati 30 e lode. L'esame è in presenza in un'aula e sarà su Moodle. E' necessario venire con un computer portatile o un tablet.
